Software QA & Testing — Assignment 5 (AITU)

Overview

Assignment 5 for the Software Quality Assurance and Testing course at Astana IT University. Focuses on test lifecycle management, structured logging, and HTML reporting in Python — concepts equivalent to TestNG annotations and Log4j used in Java-based SQAT courses. Target site: the-internet.herokuapp.com/login.

What it covers

• pytest fixtures with scopes — session, class, and function level lifecycle hooks (equivalent to @BeforeSuite/@AfterSuite, @BeforeClass/@AfterClass, @BeforeMethod/@AfterMethod)
• Structured logging — logging module with console and file handlers (equivalent to Log4j)
• pytest-html reports — automatic HTML report with embedded screenshots on test failure
• Page Object Model — LoginPage class with locator constants and action methods
• Driver factory — centralized create_driver() with headless support via HEADLESS=1 env var
• Screenshot hook — pytest_runtest_makereport captures screenshots on failure and embeds them in the HTML report
• Valid and invalid login scenarios with flash-message assertions
